There’s plenty of cabs available at the airport to take you to your destination, but if you’re booked into a hotel many of the hotels organise shuttle buses either themselves or through an independent company that will take you and your luggage direct to the hotel you’re staying at, and at the end of your holiday will take you back to the airport in plenty of time for your flight home.
